Thanks?

Haha! I laugh because I've seen side slope go bad before! Hell of an experience!

Highly. 

It's highly likely that you saw this one!! We are there most every year! We are the Hooker family, come sat hi!

Sounds about right. Swapping the original Waukesha gas job was a rather tough feet when my parents first acquired it in 1983. It's also been through 2 transmissions and two pumps. 

Yeah budddddy!

Derogatorily, that's how we used to refer to it! The truck itself is formerly Revere Massachusetts engine 3. We as a family hailed from Hanover and now live in NC! 

Thank you! Picture taken with Google pixel 2. Haha. It's quite a resto-mod. It's unlike anything else, and yet, still pays beautiful homage to its roots. 

This. 1965 Seagrave engine. 8V71 Detroit diesel. 6 mpg. Up hill. Down hill. Tail wind. Doesn't matter. It'll do 90 on the interstate and throw water at 1500 gallons per minute from it's various deck guns and other orifices. It's angry, powerful and has only mildly tamed road manners. It's a blast to drive. Also…

At least for GM, even if you go to that dealer in another region that has the higher incentives/discounts, you will still only qualify for discounts based on your home zip code/region. 

Yeah, however, I bet that ST puts many more smiles on your face! 

Not sure about that. I will wait to see, however, I think the cost of the EV F-150 will far exceed the cost of the Silverado Diesel. 

That’s even more impressive! Oddly, I always had a soft spot for the Cobalt. 

That W-Body Impala always impressed me with it’s fuel economy. Those old 3.5 V6 motors were equal parts unstoppable, smooth and fuel efficient.

And you had the benefit of the 6-speed auto! 

Agreed. Even though the delta of time between the two vehicles is seemingly large, it’s still impressive that 2 generations of vehicles is all that it took to get here. 

I believe that the 4 speed auto in my car is a pretty big sap on MPG’s. I struggle to get 30 on the highway. Also, my personal car has been rode hard and put up wet. Miles may be low, however, it was a rough first 10 years. I have no idea what the little old lady who owned it was thinking, nor where she was driving. I…

I disagree. The point is that it’s impressive that a vehicle of that size and weight is now capable of a fuel economy that up until relatively recently was only reserved for midsize cars. 

I agree. I only hope for a substantial revision in the Silverado’s future. I am content with its outside appearance, however, the interior is dated (though will likely hold up over time) and I would like to see an update. 

Though that is likely accurate, the fact that we still have a full sized truck that does get a fuel economy rating that was once reserved for midsize cars in the not so distant past is impressive.
